VMware Software

The highest levels of availability and responsiveness are offered by vSphere, the industry’s most complete and robust virtualisation platform. The most demanding datacentres around the world depend on vSphere, virtualising business-critical applications with dynamic resource pools for unprecedented flexibility and reliability.

Proactively ensure service levels, optimum resource usage and configuration compliance in dynamic virtual and cloud environments with VMware vCenter Operations. Through automated operations management and patented analytics, you benefit from an integrated approach to performance, capacity and configuration management. You’ll gain the intelligence and visibility needed to

• Get actionable intelligence to automate manual operations processes
• Gain visibility across infrastructure and applications for rapid problem resolution
• Proactively ensure optimal resource utilisation and virtual/cloud infrastructure performance
• Get ‘at-a-glance’ views of operational and regulatory compliance across physical and virtual infrastructure

GMT will pool virtual infrastructure resources in your existing datacentre and deliver them to users as a catalogue-based service with VMware vCloud Director. Coupled with VMware vSphere™, the best platform for cloud infrastructures, VMware vCloud Director enables clients to build secure private clouds, transforming the way IT delivers and manages infrastructure services and the way users access and consume these services.

• Clients may increase business agility by empowering users to deploy pre-configured services or custom-built services at the click of a button
• Maintain security and control over a multi-tenant environment with policy-based user controls and VMware vShield security technologies
• Reduce costs by efficiently delivering resources to internal organisations as virtual datacentres to increase consolidation and simplify management
• Follow an evolutionary path to the cloud by leveraging existing investments and open standards for interoperability and application portability between clouds

GMT can accelerate disaster recovery – and ensure successful recovery – by automating the recovery process, and eliminating the complexity of managing and testing recovery plans. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager eliminates complex manual recovery steps and removes the risk and worry from disaster recovery.

• Decrease planned and unplanned downtime for improved business continuity
• Protect all of your important systems and applications with disaster recovery

GMT will simplify your IT management with VMware vCenter virtualisation and cloud management solutions. vCenter solutions help you accelerate IT service delivery, transform operational efficiency, automatically assure compliance, and reduce business risks. vCenter virtualisation and cloud management solutions are constructed for dynamic environments, to fundamentally change how organisations manage IT and deliver services. This approach is built on the foundation of VMware vSphere, VMware vCenter Operations and VMware vCloud Director to enable a zero-touch infrastructure, with the built-in automation and policy-based control required to deploy a self-service model and deliver IT as a service.

GMT will assist you in strengthening your application and data security, improving visibility and control and accelerating IT compliance efforts across the entire organisation, with virtualisation-aware protection for virtual datacentres and cloud environments from the VMware vShield family of security solutions.

• Achieve Better-than-Physical Security: Adaptive security travels with virtual machines as they migrate from host to host, providing secure support for virtual machines in dynamic cloud environments. Applications run efficiently while maintaining trust and network segmentation of users and sensitive data.
• Improve and Simplify Security Management in a Single Framework: A single comprehensive framework secures virtual datacentres and cloud environments at all levels – host, network, application, data and endpoint, in a management framework that integrates with VMware vCenter Server.
• Reduce Complexity and Eliminate Bottlenecks: Reduce the complexity of endpoint, application and edge network security with VMware vShield, by consolidating your security infrastructure and eliminating the ‘sprawl’ associated with software agents, security policies, dedicated security appliances and ‘air-gapped’ solutions.
• Improve Visibility and Accelerate Compliance: Leverage the unique introspection capabilities of VMware vShield and the VMware vSphere platform to help identify hard-to-detect problems precisely and efficiently, while controlling file integrity monitoring, rootkit protection, and data leak prevention.
• Leverage Existing Security Solutions: vShield works seamlessly with existing enterprise IT security measures through REST APIs. Get customised integration of vShield capabilities into third-party security solutions, including existing antivirus and anti-malware solutions.

VMware vSphere Hypervisor is based on VMware ESXi, the hypervisor architecture that sets the industry standard for reliability, performance and ecosystem support. VMware vSphere Hypervisor is the easiest way to get started with virtualisation – and it’s free. Consolidate your applications onto fewer servers and start saving money through reduced hardware, power, cooling and administration costs. With VMware vSphere Hypervisor, you can:

• Run multiple applications on a single server
• Run a greener datacentre and reduce energy costs
• Back up and recover applications more easily
• Virtualise even business-critical applications

GMT will assist you to deploy desktops faster and improve business continuity and disaster recovery, while reducing capital and operating system costs through desktop and application virtualisation. Migrate and upgrade operating systems and applications with less downtime, eliminate the need to recode, retest and recertify applications, and get more out of your existing desktop assets. Reduce the need for IT admin staff at remote and branch offices by delivering virtual desktops to remote and temporary users while protecting corporate data. Centralise desktop management and speed up desktop deployments while reducing both operating and support costs.
